 Jacques Lacasse
My name is Jacques Lacasse. I am 47 years old, married, have three children and French speaking. I am analyst at QuebecTel in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada.I had some hobbies in the past : Electronic, Photography, Woodwork, Music, Computer and now have some passion for garden tractors. I always like to work on small mechanics, but first, I love tractors. I bought my first garden tractor in July 1997, a Bolens Husky 1220 (1969), and so realized an old dream.At this time, I have three Bolens garden tractors ; two working (a 1220 and a 1000) and one for pieces (a 850). The 1220 has a Tecumseh 12 HP industrial engine (original engine) and a six speed gear transmission (three speed with High/Low gear).Except the piston ring and head gasket, the only major repair I did was the electrical system. I renewed all wiring, rewound the alternator and build a regulator; both was burned. I renewed the paint this summer. Click on the small pictures to enlarge it.
The second tractor is a Bolens Husky 1000. I don't know yet when it was manufactured, most likely from early 60's. When I bought it, ( in early 1998 summer ) I restored it using the 900 fender and put back his own hood. The original engine was a Wisconsin TR10-D. The actual engine, a Wisconsin S8-D, come from the 900 and was installed on the 1000 when I bought it. The following photos are from the same tractor.
The last photo is from a Craftsman I restored then sold. The original color was silver.
